Commentary on Job 21:16
Job distances himself from wicked counsel: 'Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.' Though observing the wicked's prosperity, Job doesn't endorse their philosophy. Their 'good' (prosperity) doesn't rest in their control—God sovereignly grants it. Job rejects their counsel even while acknowledging their temporal success. This demonstrates wisdom: learn from observation without adopting wrong conclusions.
